Help! Internet Options - Advanced tab is blank

Hi,

I'm facing a problem with my IE 6 browser running on XP home edition. When I go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab, it appears totally blank under the settings; no options to check/un-check at all. I do see the "Restore Defaults" button in the bottom, but clicking on it does nothing. I've tried reinstalling IE from win xp CD, but it's still not helpful.

If anyone knows any solutions to this problem, please help me out. Any help will be truly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

caperjack,

Thank you so much for your help. It worked like magic! I applied the changes to the registry as you suggested, and now everything appears under the Advanced tab. I feel so relieved now, thanks once again!
